[This was not written by AI] As AI slowly becomes integrated into our lives Anesti Danelis has gone for an interesting premise: to have it write this comedy show. It’s an amusing hour of jokes, songs and tales held together by Anesti Danelis’ infectious personality, his evident enjoyment in performing reflected by the response of the audience. The comedy does work – everyone is laughing – but structurally it falls down a little – some segments probably go on a bit too long, and generally things could be tighter. As the show progresses we gain some insight into the comedian’s own life, about his parents’ immigration to the UK and being Bi which is all fascinating, and there’s some audience interaction, but it seems to cause a little anxiety. Anesti Danelis and AI is, however, a perfect combo for an enjoyable comical hour.

Underbelly Bristo Square, until 25 Aug.
